In vmware the hardware is hidden from the guest OS. Windows disregards
normal behavior in this matter and accesses any hardware it discovers,
which is one of the primary reasons that it is so ****ed insecure.

If he wants to ask a Linux question I would be happy to help but my
experience with wireless hardware is limited. His problem is not Linux,
however; it is the simple fact that he is NOT using Linux but rather
VMWare with a guest OS which has no access to his hardware.

If he really wants to have Linux access his hardware he can **** well run
Linux, either from live optical media or install it.
